European Commission to Increase Biogas Production for Energy Independence
The European Union is looking to decrease its energy dependence on Russian gas. The EU Commission has proposed to increase the bio-methane production from 3 billion cubic meters in 2020 to 35 billion cubic meters by 2030. It is an irony that the gas package for legislation presented by the European Commission in December 2021 might not have been a priority for the French EU Council Presidency, ...

Assessment of the state of the art of technologies for the processing of digestate residue from anaerobic digesters
Anaerobic digestion is widely used as an important source of renewable energy. With the increasing number and capacity of biogas plants also, adequate treatment technologies for whole digestate – the residue from anaerobic digestion – are gaining attention. In this study the state of the art of digestate processing is analysed, and currently used treatment schemes and the various ...

Anaerobic co-digestion of sewage sludge and primary clarifier skimmings for increased biogas production
The objective of the study was to identify the impact of co-digesting clarifier skimmings on the overall methane generation from the treatment plant and additional energy value of the increased methane production. Biogas production from co-digesting clarifier skimmings and sewage sludge in pilot-scale fed-batch mesophilic anaerobic digesters has been evaluated. The digester was fed with ...

Increased biogas production in a wastewater treatment plant by anaerobic co-digestion of fruit and vegetable waste and sewer sludge – A full scale study
Anaerobic digestion is a well established technology for the reduction of organic matter and stabilization of wastewater. Biogas, a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide, is produced as a useful by-product of the process. Current solid waste management at the city of Prince George is focused on disposal of waste and not on energy recovery. Co-digestion of fresh fruit and vegetable waste with ...

Q-Calc: A new App for managing food waste
Many wastewater treatment plants are intrigued with the idea of increasing biogas production by accepting food waste, but are concerned with process stability. As part of a Phase I SBIR from the USDA, Quantalux is developing a software decision tool called Q-Calc that provides operators with the ability to predict the digester’s health and stability when adding food waste to manure or ...

Role of primary sedimentation on plant-wide energy recovery and carbon footprint
The goal of this paper is to show the effect of primary sedimentation on the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and solids fractionation and consequently on the carbonaceous and energy footprints of wastewater treatment processes. Using a simple rational procedure for COD and solids fraction quantification, we quantify the effects of varying fractions on CO2 and CO2-equivalent mass flows, process ...

Precise biogas flow measurement: Overcoming the challenges of changing gas composition
INTRODUCTION As oil prices remain high, we are in the midst of a nation-wide initiative to seek renewable sources of energy to increase energy efficiency and energy security. Renewable energy accounted for 13.2% of the domestically produced electricity in 2012. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas. The production of biogas is ...

Energy at Wastewater Treatment Plants - A Short Primer
On the topic of wastewater, most people are understandably of the “flush and forget” variety. But today’s wastewaster professionals recognize that in the long term, our approach to sewage treatment needs to be less about “processing” wastewater, and more about “recovery” of limited resources such as water and energy from the incoming waste. ...

Developing a Novel Device for Accurate Biogas Concentration Measurement
Due to increasing awareness on the impact of fossil fuels on the environment, and heavier taxes on carbon emissions there is a worldwide effort to seek renewable sources of energy – alternative energy sources that increase energy efficiency and security. A renewable source that’s gained significant attention in recent years is biogas, one of the most established renewable energy ...

Anaerobic Digestion process monitoring and enhanced biogas production - Case Study
The SENTRY system was installed July 2017 at CNETE (Centre National en Electrochimie et en Technologies Environnementales) or National Center in Electrochemistry and Environmental Technologies testing facility in Quebec, Canada. A system was installed in two duplicate Anaerobic Digesters processing waste activated sludge. A pre-treatment step was added to one of the reactors, and the differences ...
